A car is needed for all in the USA. A Camera is not. The uber driver has two jobs while the photographer also has two jobs. My mind is blown. Couples please share your shots so I can take dumps. Maybe you like dumps. It is what it is. Enjoy your slop you little piggies.

[–] jaschen306@sh.itjust.works 19 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Pppffffssshhhh.... 5k?!?that is hobby level money. I'm over 15k into just my lenses and I do this as a hobby and shoot friends and family for free.

[–] Larry@lemmy.world 7 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

Bro... Shooting your friends and family is messed up.... Whether someone pays you to or not...

[–] TrippingBalls@lemmy.world 4 points 21 hours ago

All of your silly little lives are hobbies. Peasants... fuck your wedding hahahaha. Stupid idiots don't get it. You eventually will. I Quit... Here's Why the Technician Shortage Is Getting Worse

[–] rumba@lemmy.zip 7 points 1 day ago

If people just want the uber price for pictures, hire the uber to pick you up and ask him to take a picture of you with your cellphone. Then you'll have a $12 picture that you can do whatever you want with.

[–] TigerAce@lemmy.dbzer0.com 29 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Only 5k? Sound like a hobby, because most professional photographers have a body that is already 5k by itself, plus several lenses ranging between 2 and 20k. I mean, I'm a hobby photographer and my gear already exceeds at least 8k. So stop bitching Karen.

Nobody is going to watch your youtube video, just type the relevant info.

Thats nearly as obnoxious as dumping AI slop into a discussion.

[–] brucethemoose@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Looks like a Canon?

Canon RF lenses are outrageously priced, even amongst other outrageous ILC brands, because they lock out third parties. So yeah, this lady got ripped off.

[–] rumba@lemmy.zip 5 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Ehh, They're more expensive, but most of them come with IS.

I'd still rather shoot Nikon.

[–] kamen@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

It's not the IS that makes them expensive, it's the locked out ecosystem and the monopoly they have. I'm not saying they're not good - they are (from what I've seen), but healthy competition, if it existed, would've driven the prices down a bit.

As for IS itself, since the move to IBIS, it makes sense that some lenses drop the IS and only rely on the body's. IMO it used to matter in the DSLR days when IBIS was not really a thing. Nowadays it's sensible to only put it into the longer lenses that physically need it (the longer the lens, the more physical movement required to compensate and so on).

[–] brucethemoose@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago* (last edited 22 hours ago) (1 children)

The APS-C lenses are awful. And the FF ones with IS, especially the zooms, have outrageous barrel distortion that crops the sensor a ton... on $2K lenses.

This is the brand new 20-50mm F/4 for instance, and its not even the worst offender. It's $1400:

The Thypoch 24-50 2.8, for comparison, on Sony E. This is $650, often less on sale:

I'm speaking as someone who mistakenly bought into Canon APS-C. I loathe it, as a hobbyist with a Canon SLR for years.

I'm selling out, as soon as I see with what Fuji/Panasonic/Sony cook up within the year.

[–] Luffy879@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 day ago* (last edited 23 hours ago) (1 children)

Yes, rf did take a nosedive

How great that there is still EF. I just got myself an r10 since Sony dosent currently have a current aps-c (want that because I throw up from the laggy ones like the 6400 had when I tried it) for around the 600-800€ range.

Also with tamron and others canon also confirmed that they are already licensing third parties.

But if you look at half recent ones like the Canon 70-300 is II USM or even a canon 18-55 is II (or Tamron 17-70 f/2.8, which I currently run, they're perfectly OK for what I'm using them for at least.

[–] brucethemoose@lemmy.world 1 points 22 hours ago* (last edited 22 hours ago)

I don't like EF-S on my R50V, same sensor as your R10.

I mean, I have what are supposed to be some great ones. The Tamron 10-20 VC, the sigma 30mm 1.4, the Canon 50-250, the 18-55. They're great on old bodies, they haven't changed, but on modern ILCs the optics, VC, autofocus and weight does not hold it up at all...

And they're all too loud for video.

A Viltrox Air will run circles around them, for less money. Basically any mirrorless lens will. Honestly I'd rather have an old Sony body + a modern Viltrox or Sirui lens now.


(want that because I throw up from the laggy ones like the 6400 had when I tried it)

With Sony bodies, I believe you can change the display refresh rate in the settings, so it doesn't feel so sluggish. The R50/R10 can as well, but I believe the default is just higher.

I'm not trying to simp for Sony or anything though, the prices on their bodies are outrageous. But at least they have an open lens ecosystem.

[–] jumping_redditor@sh.itjust.works 28 points 1 day ago (8 children)

the prices they charge and the inability to give me the damn RAWs is why I just got a camera instead.

[–] spudsrus@aussie.zone 8 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Our wedding photographer gave us both RAWs and processed JPEGs

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[–] betterdeadthanreddit@lemmy.world 4 points 23 hours ago

Asked mine to give it to me RAW and it turned into a huge misunderstanding.

[–] jaschen306@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 day ago

Ohhhh this pisses me off soooooo much. I decided to do family photos and specifically asked for the raws before I went into the shoot. They still gave me a hard time after the shoot to get the raws. They gave me a stripped down .dng without any camera settings. Ohhhh that pisses me off so much.

Nobody cares what your camera costs, Nat. You can still take shitty pictures with a $5000 camera. Charge what you think your service is worth and work for clients who pay it.

Advertising yourself as:

  1. Bad at internal budgeting

  2. Full of yourself

... is a bold marketing strategy during an economic depression, for a freelance/contract worker.

Best of luck Nat.

Yeah and that Uber driver can't afford rent. Photographers often have less business in the winter, too, and they have a ton of extra equipment to lug around. I know a wedding photographer and it's a lot of work day of and post work to make sure it's all nice.

[–] OldChicoAle@lemmy.world 31 points 1 day ago (1 children)

My education cost 200,000. You think I made all that back in one paycheck? Cry me a river, Natalie.

tbf I doubt many Uber drivers actually profit, especially the ones driving $40k cars
